A worth while listen

Vinnie spends a majority of the book describing how he came to be a trainer and some of the pitfalls he's encountered in his life. There is only roughly 3 chapters on No Sugar, No Grains. Don't buy this if you want a diet book, it is however entertaining and insightful--a must read if you are entering the fitness industry.

Very inspiring and motivating

I loved this book! I felt so connected to the author Vinnie since he was reading it and would add little side notes that aren't included in the book. I felt like I got way more than my money's worth listening to the audio book. I feel inspired to do no sugar and no grains now and am on day 3 of that, and also to get up and move. This book came to me at the exact time I needed it. I was about to look into some diet pills :( but here I am feeling amazing 3 days later !! No pills, no sugar and no grain! I also feel like the back story to vinnie is inspiring. It really helps to show you this guy is the real deal, and he does what he does out of passion not for money and that is admirable. Now I just want to have a glass of scotch with vinnie since I feel so close with him. Lol. But I'll settle for his podcast. That's where I'm headed now! I can't get enough!! I can't wait to see what books he writes next !! Thank you vinnie !!

I don't often review things, but I found this book to be inspirational, motivational, and informative. Vinnie is an interesting character who has had an interesting life. Good stories. Excellent information. I would recommend this book all day everyday.

Best Decision I Ever Made

Reading this book was honestly the best decision I have ever made. This was the first step that lead to a much healthier lifestyle and has gotten me closer to my weight loss goal than I have ever been before, I'm almost there and going strong. Thank you Vinnie
